i have some Dali ones (from Richer Sounds) they are ace. good frequency range for 'compact' speakers https://www.dali-speakers.com/en-gb/ but i also have a portable Bose bluetooth speaker that is alarmingly good! Per NornIron, the cables are the bit many overlook, get good cables, it helps

i suppose clubs like Chelski and Man C have got those additional assets (hotels etc) to move about, smaller clubs like florist haven't otherwise they would be doing the same? Maybe SL fancies a bit of it

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/apr/19/chelseas-765m-hotel-deals-raise-questions-over-psr-compliance it is staggering that the powers that be allow the movement of assets between wholly owned subsiduaries of the same company (BlueCo) plus there seems to be no actual market valuation done - thats Trump territory! - Florist and the Everton lot must be pulling their hair out it's so painfully one rule for most and another for the elite clubs, it's embarrassing

we come back to the point that Steve Lansdown has had to chuck money at the problems he himself created. this isn't repeated benevolence, more self interest. His tenure started as financial director and much of the debt is entirely down to his dubious and some downright terrible choices His driving ambition seems to be based around creating a complex and over priced business model which he hope to get a large pay day from, but I don't see that happening. so either he lowers his financial ambition on payback, or we are in some eternal limbo.

Do you recall the 'NIBOR' shirt brand - another example of one of the many doom loops we are so effortlessly capable of getting into. (money saving exercise by the club at the time) as with so much with BCFC it comes down to the quality of decision making at senior management level, and we all know Steve doesn't like a challenge so we have inexperienced and seemingly inept people in positions of decision making. (not power) and then there's Jon... I agree entirely about the 'retro' thing - are we not capable of finding a contemporary kit design that also translates into the leisure wear? and while we all know kit manufacturers are more than happy to appear to reinvent the wheel in order to up their sales (Burnley wet look anyone?) there must be a strong designer out there who knows their stuff. ONeils seem to trying to break into the mainstream Football market having got the Irish stuff and some rugby under their wing but look at their catalogue, its a sea of indifference and a lot just looks cheap and nasty (our yellow shirts for example, how can you get a colour wrong?) I think we all want better, but have no one at the club we can hand on heart say is capable of delivering. kind of sad that.

does it work? - it just bounces onto porn or spam websites for me.

its definately worse though nowadays - perhaps we should be grateful for more SKY coverage ? but it makes having the RTV subscription a waste of time.

i always recall a story i heard about Jack Charlton speaking at a footballers dinner event at Ashton Gate apparently he opened with the hilarious line "it's good to see Bristol City where they belong...19th in Division 2" (obv old divisions then) thats always stuck with me. sadly remains pretty accurate.

the Camberwell carrot?

Hit the north!

thanks for that judgemental load of bollocks. have a nice day.

i subscribe to the annual package, so not having games available (without prior warning) should mean a refund. if you buy a car and they take one of the wheels away, you'd expect recompense.

domestic or overseas apparently. why is that and will they refund the Robins TV subscribers?

'some people are on the pitch...they think it's all over...' was that you then?

SL never wanted a 'board' , thats been a problem for years that there never was a group to call out his selfish and often flawed decision making. everyone in post at the club is a sock puppet or a lightning rod which is damning. at this time the senior management is woefully underqualified. as you say SL has had a very long time to see the mistakes he's making, but keeps on doing the same shite again and again. you'd think he might learn. but no, it points at his vanity and his need to get a return on the 'investment' he has put in.
